Crunch Fitness the brand new fitness facility that recently opened in Garwood is flexing its muscles to help those in need from Super Storm Sandy. The club opened its impressive 20,000 sq. ft. facility only three days after the storm and invited all its members and residents of the community to come in to charge their phone or take a hot shower. The following week boxes were placed at the front desk for members to donate coats, blankets, canned food and other essentials for those in need.

The giving hasn’t stopped, as this past Saturday the club held a Zumba-Thon to raise money for those who are still struggling. The event hosted by Crunch Fitness and staff had a great turn out. Members and guests made a donation to participate in the Zumba-Thon, which lasted from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

“Crunch’s No Judgments philosophy fits so well with this community, we are extremely impressed by how caring and generous everyone has been” commented Dan Kheyman – Crunch’s General Manager. “We had so many boxes of donations the truck that picked it up had to make two trips and the Zumba event this past weekend was great.”

Crunch Fitness is located at 300 South Ave. in the same shopping mall as Kings Supermarket in Garwood.
